Ranch homes, rentals and mature yards
Most of Citrus Heights was built in the 1960s, 70s and early 80s, so the typical home is a single-story ranch house with wood fascia, an attached garage and a large, established yard. Neighborhoods like Sunrise Ranch, Birdcage, Sylvan and the streets around Rusch Park and Arcade Creek all follow that pattern. Along Sunrise Boulevard, Greenback Lane and Auburn Boulevard there are many apartment complexes and rental homes, plus the shopping centers around Sunrise Mall.
Homes this age are reaching the point where original wood starts to fail. Drywood termites in attic framing and eaves, fungus in fascia and window trim, and old leaks under bathrooms are common things we find during inspections here.
Local pest pressure in Citrus Heights
- Roof rats and citrus trees. The city's name fits: orange, lemon and grapefruit trees are everywhere, and roof rats feed on the fruit and nest in dense foliage before moving into attics.
- Drywood termites in aging wood. Forty to sixty year old attics and eaves are a common place for drywood colonies.
- Cockroaches and bed bugs in multi-unit housing. Shared walls in apartments and duplexes let pests move between units.
- Argentine ants after the first rains. Fall storms push ant colonies indoors across the city.

FAQ
Citrus Heights pest control questions
Do citrus trees attract rats?
Yes. Roof rats eat citrus fruit and nest in dense trees. Picking up fallen fruit, harvesting ripe fruit and trimming branches back from the roof all help, and we can seal entry points on the house.
My Citrus Heights home was built in the 1970s. Should I have a termite inspection?
Homes of that age often have drywood termites in attic framing and eaves, plus fungus in fascia and trim. An inspection shows what is there and what, if anything, needs treatment or repair.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes. We service rental homes and apartment complexes, including cockroach and bed bug treatment, and we can coordinate access with your team.
